Soul food restaurant · Dorchester

"This place is home to soul food and Lowcountry cooking royalty; a counter-service icon you don't want to miss. Owned and operated by the daughters of founder Albertha Grant, those cooking your food are the ones working the line and the register. It's $8 for a meat and two sides, so consider taking the leap and going for two entrees. There's too much to love for one styrofoam container: fried chicken, crisp and hot; fried pork chops that are tender and well-seasoned; red rice, white rice, mac and cheese; okra stew that's probably been made the same way since their grandmothers were making it; oxtails falling off the bone if they have it; fried fish if they have it; any dessert they suggest, and sweet potatoes. Wash it all down with the sweetest sweet tea and lemonade." - Stephanie Burt
